For my next column at Film Comment, I wrote about actresses who come from a comedy/improv background, and the special gifts they bring to bear in dramatic material. Featuring a couple of interviews I did with circus people, and also a quote from …. Window-Boy. Yes. There’s his name. Out there in the world. lol. Not like it’s ever been a big secret. But he said this thing to me years ago I never forgot. So I’m usin’ it.
I’ve been wanting to write this one for a long time!
A few more of these and you’ve got a book. Just saying. By the way, thanks for noticing Andrea Martin. She is a gift to acting. In those Big Fat Greek Wedding movies, which I love, she is brilliant.
Thank you so much, Larry!
and yes yes yes about Andrea Martin. She is so fantastic.
